Some people think that newly built houses should follow the style of old houses in local areas. Others think that people should have freedom to build houses of their own styles. Discuss both views and give your own opinions.

In

this

day and age,

people

are putting an enormous amount of effort into constructing their dream

house

. Many

people

claim that new constructions should be designed to blend in with surrounding areas while others believe that

house

owners should have the right to erect their accommodations

however

they want. In

this

essay, I will discuss both mentioned views before drawing the final conclusion why I lean towards the latter. On the one hand, it is undeniable that building

houses

that are the same as former ones is beneficial. The most significant advantage of

this

trend is that tourism will be boosted given that historical locations and buildings, which attract a great number of visitors, will be preserved.

For example

, Hoi An, which is an ancient city in Viet Nam, has gained a reputation for its traditional

houses

and stores along the streets and has welcomed thousands of travellers a year, which is a great contribution not only to tourism but

also

to the national economy.

On the other hand

, I am more convinced that citizens have the right to build their accommodation freely. The primary reason is that they are the legal owners of the

house

,

hence

, there is no reason why they can not construct it based on their own desire. If they can live in an apartment that suits their preference, it will be more pleasant for them, compared to being forced to design the

house

to fit in with local surroundings. Another reason is that

people

can save a lot of money if they construct

houses

that follow the modern design, providing that

this

style is simple and minimal, unlike the conventional style of construction. By doing

this

, citizens can set aside more to invest in other aspects of their lives,

such

as health and hobbies, as well as to contribute more to society through charity. In conclusion, it is impossible to argue against the opinion that

people

should build

houses

that follow the style of their residential areas.

Nonetheless

, I am of the idea that

house

owners should be the ones who decide the design of their homes.
